[0022] Embodiment: As Figures 1-4As shown, a kind of anti-dripping assembly for cooking equipment, the anti-dripping assembly 100 is installed in the inside of cooking equipment 40, the anti-dripping assembly 100 includes first support part 10, second support part 20 and support column 30, the first support part 10 includes first frame 11 and first mesh cloth 12 fixedly installed on the first frame 11, the second support part 20 includes second frame 21 and second mesh cloth 22 fixedly installed on the second frame 21, the first frame 11 and the second frame 21 are fixedly connected, and the support column 30 is fixedly installed between the first frame 11 and the second frame 21, the included angle between the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 is 110 °-130 °, the support column 30 is wrapped with a covering layer, and the first mesh cloth 12, the second mesh cloth 22 and the covering layer are all PET mesh cloths.
[0023] As Figure 4 As shown, the cooking equipment 40 is provided with a mesh belt 41 for conveying products. During operation of the cooking equipment 40, steam condensate water is likely to drop on the products, affecting the quality of the products. Steam condensate water refers to water generated in the steam condensation process. Specifically, when hot steam encounters a low-temperature surface, the hot steam releases part of the heat, thereby reducing the temperature. When the temperature of the steam drops below its saturation temperature, the steam begins to condense into small water droplets, which is the process of generating steam condensate water. In continuous cooking conditions, when hot steam encounters mechanisms with lower temperatures, such as the upper cover plate of the cooking equipment and pipelines, steam condensate water is generated. Analysis of the cooking equipment shows that the dripping points of the condensate water are mainly concentrated on the upper cover plate of the cooking equipment and the outlet of the flue gas discharge chimney. Due to the requirements of the cooking process, the inside of the cooking equipment is filled with water vapor. During the movement of high-temperature high-gas steam, the upper cover plate of the cooking equipment, although filled with thermal insulation materials in the middle, is directly in contact with the external environment, and the surface temperature inevitably drops below the steam temperature, forming small water droplets. Over time, the condensation increases, and the dewdrops gradually increase, forming water droplets that fall down. Similarly, due to the requirements of the cooking process, high-temperature steam needs to be continuously introduced into the cooking equipment to ensure the moisture and heat content inside the equipment to meet the product requirements. Therefore, low-temperature steam needs to be discharged from the head and tail of the cooking equipment to ensure fluidity. Since the outlet pipeline is arranged on the periphery of the equipment body, there is a large temperature difference between the pipeline temperature and the steam, resulting in a large amount of water vapor condensate water droplets flowing back.
[0024] The dripping points of the condensed water are mainly concentrated on the upper cover plate of the cooking equipment and the outlet of the flue gas discharge chimney. Since the upper cover plate 42 and the chimney assembly 43 are in contact with the external environment, the anti-dripping water assembly 100 is installed inside the cooking equipment 40 and below the upper cover plate 42 and the chimney assembly 43, that is, the outer side of the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 faces the upper cover plate, and the inner side of the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 faces the mesh belt, effectively separating the upper cover plate and the product on the mesh belt, thereby preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the product. Since the anti-dripping water assembly is installed inside the cooking equipment, the temperature difference between the anti-dripping water assembly and the heating steam is small, the internal heat balance of the cooking equipment is achieved, and the conditions for the generation of condensed water are also destroyed. In the present application, the first mesh cloth 12, the second mesh cloth 22 and the cover layer are all made of hydrophilic PET mesh cloth, which further prevents the generation of condensed water on the inner side of the PET mesh cloth. The condensed water generated at the upper cover plate, chimney assembly and other places will drip onto the outer side of the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22. Since the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 are arranged at an angle, the condensed water will be guided to both sides of the cooking equipment, thereby effectively preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the product on the mesh belt, and improving the quality of the product.
[0025] When determining the materials of the first mesh cloth 12, the second mesh cloth 22 and the cover layer, hydrophobic coating, 120-mesh nylon laminate and hydrophilic PET mesh cloth are selected for comparison. It is found that the hydrophobic coating still has more condensed water droplets gathered and dripped in the steam condensed water simulation environment, the 120-mesh nylon mesh cloth surface also has a small amount of water droplets gathered, and the PET mesh cloth has no water droplets gathered, so the hydrophilic PET mesh cloth is selected.
[0026] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4 , the included angle between the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 is 120°. In this way, the gathering of water droplets is destroyed, and small water droplets are prevented from dripping. If the included angle between the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 is too small, small water droplets are easy to drip; if the included angle between the first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 is too large, small water droplets are easy to gather into large water droplets and drip.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the periphery of the first mesh cloth 12 is fixedly installed on the first frame 11, the periphery of the second mesh cloth 22 is fixedly installed on the second frame 21, and the surface of the first mesh cloth 12 and the surface of the second mesh cloth 22 form a plane. The first mesh cloth 12 and the second mesh cloth 22 are square structures, the periphery of the first mesh cloth 12 is fixed on the first frame 11 and the first mesh cloth 12 is straightened, the periphery of the second mesh cloth 22 is fixed on the second frame 21 and the second mesh cloth 22 is straightened, so that the surface of the first mesh cloth 12 and the surface of the second mesh cloth 22 form a flat plane, effectively preventing the gathering of condensed water.
[0028] Optionally, the PET mesh cloth has a mesh size of 150-250 mesh and a thickness of 0.08-0.15 mm. Further, the PET mesh cloth has a mesh size of 200 mesh and a thickness of 0.1 mm. The use of the PET mesh cloth with a mesh size of 200 mesh is conducive to water drainage and effectively prevents the formation of water droplets. The PET mesh cloth with a mesh size of 400 mesh is tested simultaneously, and the water drainage performance is not as good as that of the PET mesh cloth with a mesh size of 200 mesh.
[0029] Optionally, the first frame 11 and the second frame 21 are both steel structures, the support column 30 is a round steel column in the shape of a cylinder, and the cover layer includes two layers of PET mesh cloth. The support column 30 is used to strengthen the connection between the first frame 11 and the second frame 21, thereby improving the strength of the drip-proof assembly.
[0030] As shown in Figure 4 The cooking device 40 includes a mesh belt 41, an upper cover plate 42, and a chimney assembly 43 installed on the outer side of the upper cover plate 42. The drip-proof assembly 100 is installed between the mesh belt 41 and the upper cover plate 42. The drip-proof assembly is installed above the mesh belt 41 and below the upper cover plate 42, thereby separating the mesh belt 41 from the upper cover plate 42. The condensate formed by the upper cover plate 42, the chimney assembly 43, and the like does not directly fall on the products on the mesh belt 41, but falls on the drip-proof assembly 100 and is drained to both sides of the cooking device 40 by the drip-proof assembly 100.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1-3 The first frame 11 is fixedly provided with a first coupling member 13, and the second frame 21 is provided with a second coupling member 23. The first coupling member 13 and the second coupling member 23 are fixedly installed on the cooking device 40. One side of the first frame 11 is fixedly connected with the support column 30, and the other side of the first frame 11 is provided with the first coupling member 13. An included angle formed between the first coupling member 13 and the first frame 11 is obtuse. One side of the second frame 21 is fixedly connected with the support column 30, and the other side of the second frame 21 is provided with the second coupling member 23. An included angle formed between the second coupling member 23 and the second frame 21 is obtuse. The first coupling member 13 and the second coupling member 23 are welded to the cooking device.
[0032] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
